Ragnarok(Morpheus Engine) from Osprey 2019 April

I have no idea which category fits for this and could not find thread. Found no FB groups either. Does anyone have info with this game?
I’ve put the thread here just because it sounds like, fantasy based on North myth.

Quote
The end of the Aesir has come, but not as the prophecies foretold. The dread dragon Niddhoggr has devoured the roots of the World Ash, Yggdrasil, and the great tree has toppled onto its side, crashing the realms of mortal and supernatural together. With the gods dead and the fires of ruin consuming the world, your war clan of Viking warriors know what they must do to survive the destruction of the Nine Realms and restore order: they must become the new gods!

Ragnarok is a campaign-driven skirmish game in which players form a Viking war clan seeking to prove itself worthy of becoming the new pantheon. The use of a mechanic called Godspark means that battles are no longer determined by merely striking an opponent and dealing damage. Instead, warriors will be pushing, throwing, and crashing their opponents around the battlefield, making their very environment a weapon. As the war clans develop, they may gain glorious new powers that will bring them closer to godhood, or win the respect of the denizens of the realms, allowing them to bring dire wolves, dwarves, and even the dreaded giants into their war clans. With strategic gameplay and epic storytelling, players must write their own sagas and tell of how their war clans have, through blood and steel, clawed their way up from ruin to stand before the halls of Valhalla.

Book Description
Ragnarok is a campaign-driven skirmish game of vicious Viking combat with a heavy metal edge.

Looking at the available information the Fantasy Board seems as good a place as any.

Looks like it could be fun new way to use my Viking figures. I'll keep an eye out for this one  :P
I'm not a mercenary. Killing's more of a hobby for me.

Interesting indeed, particularly as my interest in Norse mythology has been reawakened by reading Robert Low's Oathsworn books (historical but with many references to the gods, Odin's ravens, seidr, etc. to the extent that the distinction with fantasy is quite blurred).

Amazon gives the release date as the end of May, with the supplement due in September, both in hardcover.

Hi all, I am Tim Korklewski, author of Ragnarok. Apologies for not responding sooner but I just signed up for the forum. As far as finding more information, Ragnarok Worldwide on Facebook is the place to go. Yes, there are expansions already listed. I just completed the transcript for Books two and three.
